Select Setup to create the package as an executable file. The package
installs the OfficeScan agent program with the components
currently available on the server. If the target
endpoint has an earlier agent version installed, running the
executable file upgrades the agent.

Update

Select Update to
create a package that contains the components currently available
on the server. The package will be created as an executable file.
Use this package if there are issues updating components on any agentendpoint.

MSI

Select MSI to create a package that conforms to the Microsoft Installer
Package format. The package also installs the OfficeScan agent
program with the components currently available on the
server. If the target endpoint has an earlier agent
version installed, running the MSI file upgrades the agent.

Select the operating system for which you want to create the package. Deploy
the package only to endpoints that run the operating system type. Create
another package to deploy to another operating system type.

Allow the agent to report its domain
automatically: After installing the OfficeScan agent, the agent queries the OfficeScan
server database and reports its domain settings to the server.

Any domain in the list: Agent Packager synchronizes with the OfficeScan
server and lists the domains currently used in the agent tree.

Under Options, select from the following:

Option

Description

Silent mode

This option creates a package that installs on the agentendpoint in
the background, unnoticeable to the agent and without showing an installation
status window. Enable this option if you plan to deploy the package
remotely to the target endpoint.

Force overwrite with latest version

This option overwrites component versions on the agent with the versions currently
available on the server. Enable this option to ensure that
components on the server and agent are synchronized.

Disable Prescan (fresh installations only)

If the target endpoint does not have the OfficeScan agent installed, the package first
scans the endpoint for security risks before installing the
OfficeScan agent. If you are certain that the
target endpoint is not infected with security risks,
disable prescan.

If prescan is enabled, Setup scans for virus/malware in the most
vulnerable areas of the endpoint, which include the following:

Boot area and boot directory (for boot viruses)

Windows folder

Program files folder

Under Update Agent Capabilities, select which features the
Update Agent can deploy.

Under Components, select the components and features to
include in the package.
